View full sizeLonnie Timmons III, The Plain DealerSure, Travis Benjamin isn't exactly the most robust physical specimen at 175 pounds, but the Browns won't be asking him to take too many shots over the middle.

Hey, Mary Kay: Do you think that the Browns will or should limit the patterns that Travis Benjamin runs to keep him healthy given his size (or lack thereof)? -- Paul Thiel, Crescent Springs, Ky.

Hey, Paul: The Browns can't be too predictable with Benjamin (5-10, 175), but they'll also have to keep him from getting drilled over the middle too often. Their bigger tight ends and receiver Greg Little are more suited for the pounding.

Hey, Mary Kay: The Browns appear to have made a big investment along the offensive line in recent drafts. When was the last time the Browns had a starting lineup in which the entire offensive line was drafted by the team? -- John Brannen, Sugar Land, Texas

Hey, John: It hasn't happened in the 20-plus years that I've been covering the team, but my good friend and Browns historian Steve King recalled they started five draft picks from 1970-73 although a non-draftee, Bob DeMarco, shared the center spot in '73. It's pretty remarkable for Tom Heckert to assemble an all-pick line. If second-round right tackle Mitchell Schwartz is as good as anticipated, this is going to be one terrific line.

Hey, Mary Kay: Since the Browns run the 4-3 you can never have enough DL depth. Now that one of our better DL is done, why not take a flier on Albert Haynesworth? A one-year contract with incentives. What do you think? I think I know the answer. The Browns were terrible against the run again last year and losing Phil will not help. -- Bryan Filla, Mantua

Hey, Bryan: No way! Haynesworth is way more trouble than he's worth -- the ultimate head case. If Bill Belichick couldn't control him last season, no one can.

Hey, Mary Kay: How come NFL teams don't have their draft picks signed right after the draft? I thought with the new CBA there was a rookie wage scale that slots what a player will make. So what contract negotiations are there? Don't get me wrong, it's wonderful to see these young players signing a lot earlier than they used to, and not holding out for big money they have yet to earn. But why is it not an automatic signing like it seems to be in the NBA? -- Jared Smith, Layton, Utah

Hey, Jared: Things are pretty routine now, except for the amount of guaranteed money in the deal. That's usually the only holdup. There are other minor issues such as injury clauses, but for the most part, deals get done without a hitch.
